DA’s Best of the Rest: Tuesday December 18th, 2012
Best of the Rest is a daily feature from Dancing Astronaut that recaps the most important posts of the day as well as the stuff we didn’t get to. With the rapidity that dance music news and releases come out it’s difficult for us to hit everything — we hope BOTR serves as a catch-all. Make sure to check it out at the end of each day to ensure you don’t miss anything!

Cazzette releases Eject Part II, but you still can’t buy it

Steve Aoki – It’s The End Of The World As We Know It EP
2012 has been a huge year for Steve Aoki. After his debut album, Wonderland, he quickly followed up with Wonderland: Remixed and is back before the year ends with, It's the End of the World as We Know It EP. The three track EP is a nice reminder that Aoki is still in the production game game, and can not only crowd raft, cake people, and spray champagne, but also produce music.
Dzeko & Torres vs. Crossways – Togi (Preview)
Quickly following up their last preview, Dzeko & Torres are back with another collaboration, this time with fellow Canadian's Crossways. "Togi" was first premiered in David Guetta's 128th DJ mix and could become Dzeko & Torre's biggest track yet. After a simple build, the track drops into an unexpected drum pattern until leading into a sample from Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song."
